Hi, my husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in January 2017 and is now about to start his 7th out of 8 cycle of chemo.  All has gone well and he has responded well to the treatment.

For some reason today, he has woken up totally, and I mean totally confused. This is concerning me quite a a bit as I have never seen this sort of behaviour before. He is talking such rubbish I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, plus he wanders around the house and doesn’t seem to know where he is or why he went there.

I haven’t called anyone yet, but am seriously thinking about calling 111

Hello Peggy

I would suggest you call either 111 or an ambulance straight away. After 7 cycles of treatment,for your husband to suddenly start behaving in this manner suggests something is going on. Be on the safe side.

I wish you the very best and hope your husband is ok. Keep us informed how things go.

Best wishes

Hi Peggy, I agree with Susie, definitely best to get it checked out.

Is your husband taking dexamethasone? When on that, I often started sentences and then forgot why I did, so it could be that, but it wasn’t as bad as you describe, so definitely best getting it checked out.

Wishing you all the best,

Greg

Hi, thank you both for your advice. Thankfully after a long nap in the afternoon, he was more with it in the evening.  We actually went out for the day on Sunday! I have had a chat with my husband’s nurse specialist at the Hospice and he has suggested that maybe it was a mini stroke.  I need to keep an eye out in case this happens again, in which case I have been advised to either call a doctor or get in touch with the Hospice.
